EYH is a program that started in California in 1976, www.expandingyourhorizons.org. When girls begin Jr. High School they tend to lose interest in and drop out of science and math. Percentage-wise, compared to boys, each year as they get older girls take fewer math and science courses and score lower in tests. This conference is an effort to help girls maintain or become more interested in science and math.
The Expanding Your Horizons conference provides opportunities for young women to meet and learn about careers from women working in science and math related fields and how these subjects relate to possible careers. Expanding Your Horizons of Northern Utah is sponsored by ATK Launch Systems.
We would like to thank all the volunteers and young women that have made our previous EYH conferences such a wonderful success. We hope we have been able to influence the young women in a positive way and have helped inspire them to continue to pursue science and math education.
Our 2008 EYH conference is planned for Saturday, November 8.
Check back for information about this year's conference. We hope to post registration information around October 1, 2008.
If you have questions, call Kay Anderson 435-863-3085. No walk-in registration.
